The Oaks Events Outdoor Wedding Venue is tucked away in Midlands, North Carolina, conveniently located just outside Charlotte. It's a beautiful rustic home that serves as lodging for guests, adjacent to a large picturesque lake. The beautifully manicured lawn has a well maintained brick pathway for brides to process to their grooms who will wait at the gazebo. It's an excellent place to get married under the Carolina sunshine, and there's plenty of room for a tent if it's not that cooperative. After the ceremony, The Oaks has a free standing reception structure with unobstructed views of the surrounding pasture land.

This gallery features images from Brittany and Russell. She personalized the space with an elegant and picture perfect free standing door, which allowed her to enter the ceremony traditionally, despite being outside. She was absolutely gorgeous, and I had her show off her playful side on the rope swing hanging from the enormous trees covering the outdoor bar for cocktail hour.
